Korn > Assignee: Uwe L. Korn > > My main incentive here is that I want to have a Python sdist that can be > installed with a simple `pip install ./dist/pyarrow.tar.gz` (so we could > provide source distributions on PyPI). This will still let the install of > pyarrow depend on CMake but at least we would have the ability of a source > distribution. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
